Product Description:

Trampoline is the shortest route to the things you use most. You have a set of core tools, the things you use many many many times a day. With Trampoline, those things are never more than a few pixels away.

Press a hot key, and a circular launcher appears all around your cursor. Every tool you put in the Trampoline is within easy reach. Just move your mouse in the dircetion of the thing you want, and then click.

Very shortly, you become used to the placement of your favorite things. Your hand begins to associate moving in a certain direction with opening a certain thing. This is when Trampoline really becomes useful. Before long, it's not something you even think about. Trampoline gets out of your way so you can get your work done.

That's the philosopphy of Trampoline: stay out of your way until you need it, then be quick about getting you to the tools you need. No complex learning curve, no training, no time wasted on manuals, although there is a manual if you'd like to read it. In fact, there are even Video Tutorials that show Trampoline in action.

Give Trampoline a week and see if it doesn't make getting to the things you use most quicker and easier.

Note: Trampoline was once known as Bullseye, but has since gained a new look, many many new features, and a new attitude.

I want to make my comments more overt here. This program has significantly reduced my pending carpal tunnel problems. Instead of having to make numerous trips to the dock (or other program switchers), I programmed my center mouse button to pop up the Trampoline menu when I click it. It's a lot easier for me to traverse a small piece of screen realty to find what I want. This might sound trivial, but as I've gotten older, it has made a significant difference. (I've been using Macs for nearly 20 years.) In addition, the program is highly configurable and fast. If you tinker with it for less than a minute - and read the instructions that come with it - you will see that it is not at all difficult to configure and use. The developer has also always been prompt with replies and consideration of feature requests. This is a program one should check out before dismissing it as "yet another program switcher and launcher." I'll take it over the dock any day.

strange and unintuitive... not for everyone... bit of a software "gizmo" - if you like that sort of thing...
what's wrong with the dock anyway? I drag my app folders in to the right side of the dock - right/contrl click on the folder and voila, a menu of all your apps to choose from...

If you like the idea behind Trampoline, you may wanna give a try to Sapiens as well. Like trampoline it has a circular interface, but it also is a launcher with an artificial intelligence that predicts the applications you may need. Pretty cool actually.
